Cam Johnson is someone I would target if we got another first round pick. I watched a couple of UNC games and he always stood out to me. He has some Klay Thompson in his game.

One thing i dont like about perry/mills is that they seem to be really unimaginative. We should be making moves to get another 1st pick in the late lottery but we'll probably just stand pat.

I hope im wrong though.

the knicks still plan to get meetings with KD and KL...so you can't f*ck up the cap space yet.

If they don't get them they absolutely need to start taking in players into cap space for future picks.

if they do better have a deal lined up with the suns for #6 or bulls at #7 for Morant.

Can RJ be a full-time point possibly?

With how he turns the ball over? No way.

[Cookies4Life]

RJ's ballhandling isn't that bad right now and he's played the PnR a decent amount at Duke with a pretty good amount of success. He's only 18, so if he's diligent with his offseason workouts and learns how to correct his mistakes studying in the film room, it's plausible he could be a secondary ballhandler/playmaker down the road.

He obviously needs to improve every facet of his game as far as ballhandling, being more judicious with his passes and shot selection, and overall court vision. But the foundation is there already, he can be a real problem in a couple seasons as a potential playmaker.

No, it'd still be ARE because of the implied verb-subject agreement, in that there are many people considered to be "sunS." If you had said "the suns franchise is interested," that would be correct because the franchise itself is singular.

Aren't I, however, also implying the existence of the franchise itself when I simply write "The Suns [franchise] ... " Thus, it would be "The Suns [franchise] IS interested in ..." I believe I've consulted with the world's most foremost authority on the subject.

I was hoping to lure you out of Grammar Cave. The ol' "Implied verb-subject agreement" trick. Is there a rule on when to imply and when not to imply?

Sorry, I didn't see the bottom part.

Lol I made that implied verb agreement **** up. But I think you're still right

You mofo! You had me at "implied."

I mean if these are the flags .... he shouldnt be the 3rd pick overall and the Knicks aren't in any position to take this type of risk for another high volume wing.

Chicago aint giving us Carter and a better spot in the 2nd round just to jump 4 spots for Ja.

[Knicks218]

I'm super happy we will get RJ Barrett i think he fits right in with us and our team. Wanted Zion but i am happy with RJ, just sign Julius Randle for PF and we are set.

PG-Smith/Ntilikina
SG-Barrett/Trier
SF- Knox/Dotson
PF-Randle/Vonleh
C-Robinson

Really?

[stuporman]

Yea, Perry is really unimaginative...... It takes no imagination to find first round talent in the second round and as a ufa.

[thebuzzardman]

I'm just waiting for the meltdown when Barrett goes #2

[robillionaire]

I would have a meltdown if we trade down I don’t care if we take RJ or Ja (I prefer RJ) but if we trade down I will be mad

Yeah, that's who we need. Forget this RJ stuff. Make some kind of move to get us Hunter and this kid.

EDIT:

Oops. Nevermind. Look at this defense.

Sir Charles was raving about DeAndre Hunter last night on NBATV. Barkley knows a little about basketball.
